This is partially probably because I love the color red, heart motifs, and cute girly/fluffy things—but also, who doesn’t want an excuse to eat a bunch of fancy

I went to college 15 minutes from South Jersey, so on a night out with my girlfriends, false lashes were a must. Unfortunately, I could not for the life of me put false lashes on properly. Honestly, I don’t think I even tried because I was so inexperienced with makeup in general at that time
